“31-year-old Stephen Clayton and his son, David died October 12th when a wheel detached from a trailer on Interstate 90 near Kimball (South Dakota). The wheel crossed the median and struck their mini-van. Clayton’s pregnant wife, Katie, sustained life-threatening injuries. The couple’s 11-month-old son was treated for minor injuries. Clayton had served as pastor of the Becker Evangelical Free Church since 2024.”
Sources say the Claytons were returning from a visit with family in Spearfish, South Dakota when the crash occurred.
Funeral services for Pastor Stephen Clayton and his son will be held Friday in Mounds View. Meanwhile, a GoFundMe campaign to support the family has reportedly already surpassed its original goal of $250 thousand dollars.
